Information Governance
Senior Information Risk Owner: Training & Consultancy
Following the major loss of data by Her Majesty’s Customs and Revenue (HMRC), all NHS organisations have to have a Senior Information Risk Owner, who has the responsibility to manage information risk on behalf of the CEO and the Board. This is not a role that he/she can carry out alone; they can set the strategic direction and ensure that the processes are in place for the safe management of information. We provide a range of training and consultancy for Senior Information Risk Owners/Officers, Information Asset Owners and Information Asset Assistants.

The Senior Information Risk Owner
The role of the Senior Information Risk Owner is essential in establishing robust systems to safeguard and risk-assess information management.
Our comprehensive training has been acknowledged by Connecting for Health as follows:

Training for Information Asset Owners
Most NHS organisations have a vast array of information assets. They need an Information Asset Owner (IAO) in each Department to help them with this responsibility and to make sure that the safe management of information is bedded down across the organisation.
The role of the Information Asset Owner (IAO) is essential. Without IAO’s the Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) has no eyes and ears, and the information governance manager faces an uphill struggle to assure that the organisation is fulfilling all its legal and regulatory requirements when handling any data. It is essential in establishing robust systems to safeguard and risk assesses information management. They are one of the requirements of the Toolkit and therefore mandated.
The course covers the support required for the SIRO, the background to the role, the legal framework, the actions required, information risk assessment, logging assets and taking forward an information management system.
